The UK version was hosted by designer Henry Holland and, bizarrely, Girls Aloud member Nicola Roberts with occasional appearances by Rihanna, who also executively produced the show. As neither Holland nor Roberts are well known across the pond, they've been replaced with two, rather more suitable, candidates; Pharrell Williams and Erin Wasson.

Williams may be best known for his musical career, but he's also founder of successful label Billionaire Boys Club alongside BAPE designer Nigo. Oh, and he's been voted the Best Dressed Man in the World. Meanwhile, Wasson is primarily known as a hugely-successful model, but also has a sideline as a jewellery designer for her label Low Luv, and has collaborated on clothing with French brand Zadig & Voltaire.

The show debuted on UK channel Sky Living last year, and saw 12 wannabe fashion designers put through their paces as they fought it out to create a performance outfit for Riri herself. However, reports of poor ratings plagued the show and a second UK series hasn't been planned. Nevertheless the format was snapped up by US network Style.

The revamped show will similarly feature 12 candidates competing, reports
